Hello there! Just wondering if anyone has any experience with rat-savvy vets in North York, Ontario. Looking for a vet who knows what they are doing, including lump removals and dealing with all the usual things (like respiratory infection etc). Thank you in advance!

Hello fellow rat lovers! I am posting on behalf of Ottawa Pet Rat Rescue, a CRA registered charity operating out of Ottawa, ON, Canada. In case anyone is looking to purchase hammocks, please consider purchasing from the Rescue. 100% of the proceeds from sale are used for the rescue and...

Personally, I can't ignore the fact that GMO foods are now everywhere and pretty much unavoidable. I don't care of there's no "conclusive" studies that have been done because it all comes down to logic v.s. what the U.S./Canadian chooses to publish and chooses to allow the public to know. Huge...

Unfortunately, the day that I went to visit, I took a video of one of their daughters and their rat, and my camera ran out of memory :( It was such a cute video that I couldn't bring myself to delete it and silly me had left other important pictures on it. And to answer Carol, yes, we DO adopt...

Awww. Thank you so much for posting this story Debra! Dear Socrates is literally living in a rattie-centric home. I actually had the pleasure to meet this family. They live in this open-concept bungalow and there's "rat stations" all around the perimeter of their huge living room. Their dad...

What's stopping you from not fishing and not hunting? Just don't put that bait on that hook, don't throw the line. Don't stalk that animal and don't shoot that rifle. Not that hard. Bleh. That's just my opinion. I grew up on a rabbit/chicken/goat farm in China. We killed rabbits and chickens...

Hi there! Is anyone traveling from Ottawa to Montreal before April 13? If so, please send us an email at [email protected] Or PM me, ratmondo, or ChrisK. Thank you!!!!!

Wow. We didn't even THINK of American Blue Agouti! But that could very well be it! Hmmm. I'm gonna see if she can't take some more pictures of this gorgeous boy :) Weeeeehhhhh Thanks everyone!

The Rat Shack cannot die. I'm sorry. >.< Give us another chance!!!!

Hello everyone! So on November 26, 2012, with the combined efforts of two of my male co-workers, ratmondo, and a fellow animal-activist, we rescued adorable little Remi from an asshole snake owner who was giving him away, but refused to hand him over to ratmondo after she just mentioned...

We have our charity corporation number!!!!! Official. :) About time! :joy:

He uses an inhaled anesthetic from what know. I absolutely insisted that he always use inhaled. But maybe he uses an injection afterward, because when I go in for a euthanization, he will used the inhaled, and he suggested once that we use an inject-able anesthetic to speed it up. I declined...

Sorry if I am not very coherent in this post, but I just got back for a long day. I brought Petri and Skemo in for surgeries today. Petri is 2 years 3 months and needed a tumor removed from her chest. That seems to have gone fine so far (at least she's still breathing, is response, but is very...

You're right lilspaz. I didn't go with the Nix thing. It just sounded way too dangerous. I gave Apollo another dose of Revolution instead. Just in case. It's been nearly 4 weeks since his last dose, so that should be okay. And that's the thing... he DOESN'T scratch like a mad-man. I mean...

Hi, Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with using Nix to treat Lice in Rats. I just got back from the vets. Apollo and his brother Arktos were checked out by Dr. Mobarak. He confirmed that Apollo is STILL infested with LICE! Yikes. I told him that Arktos has had Ivermectin and so...

Just wanted to post a quick update on sick boy and his skinny brother. I don't understand this in a way. I mean, when rats get hurt, or injured, they usually bounce back SOOO incredibly quick. I don't know if this is normal, but I feel like Sick boy hardly improves at all some days. He still...

At the very least, sick boy needs a name. JUST in case something happens. He needs a name! I LOVE the Greek/Roman names theme. :) I like Hermes. I've sort of been calling him Ozzy in my head though >.< I have no idea where that came from. Probably just from watching too much Survivor! LOL...

Sick boy is on his second dish of Baby food :) Yay! And I think he's a little less panicked looking. He's been sleeping, so that's good. Second dose of baytril+doxy in 1 hour!! He DEFINITELY needs an epic name! They all do!

This is continued from: HERE We just got back from the woman's place a few hours ago. The cage they were in was DISGUSTING. Literally, it was the worst I had ever seen, although ratmondo said she had seen worse. The shelves were literally slathered with dried urine and feces. The pine they...

Early last week, ChrisK and her rat-loving hubby dropped by to drop off Cookie & Cupcake. These girls were from one of those Ottawa Kijiji ads that really make our hearts ache. Thankfully, ChrisK agreed to take in these girls temporarily until either they found a new home. But since it's...
